Use wire instead of a cable for the seat mate.

I`d pay the money for a window reg, its gonna be hassle getting one from o/s or rebuilding one.

I have seen lots of silver audis with that paint fade. Must be an aussie sun thing.

Car looks good though, dont forget its supposed to be a daily

its not paint fade matt,its definately some type of hand scratching that is extremely deep.

so you are saying a straight piece of wire not flexible?
ill try and find a diy way of fixing the reg first before I bite the bullet and get new.

im not going the fully modified way as I did with the mk4,just get it looking clean and ill be happy(ok ok maybe some wheels,lowered and exhaust!

... hehehhehe )

Looking good George!

another thing u can do to make it look like the the face lifted model is buy some red tint spray for the rear indicators paint them red. It will look like the latter ones which looks 100x better.

Mate if you have 1 cable working then cable tie the other hook up permenant till you get one. This way the seat will still lock in and will still fold when the cable is pulled

Seen that one done heaps of times. The bonnet and roof of my 90 is all crazed the same as that mate.
cheers

only noticedthis! score and a half.. i saw one driving around the day i got back actually.. very nice!

with the paint having scratches, you can try 1 of 2 things, using 2000-2800 wet sand paper and sanding it out then buffing/cutting it back and waxing it.. you should be able to get about 50-70% of them out without ruining the paint as im very sure the car hasnt been machined in its life very often before. before doing that would be best to try machine first to see how u go . or 2nd you can get it blended.

looks good george! definitely agree with the red tail tints as kosta said tho!

Slightly off topic...
Did any quattro coupes get bought into australia? I'm not talking S2s, I'm talking 7A engined B3 CQ.
